A Complete Unknown 2024
I admit the fast pace takes away the experience and could have improved the progression between scenes instead of stitching together clips that make the film feel short despite its two-hour runtime. However, this film is absolute, and the classic appeal, costumes, and sets are spot on. There’s a haunting beauty to a point of making you remember that this was actually someone’s real life, and his evolution from who he once was to who he had become. I think…

The essence of life shows us that memories are truly what we have—the memories we share with those closest to us. These memories make up life because we don't know what it's all about.
Serves you back to simpler times, such as those childhood mornings interrupted by the urgent call of your mom when she tells you that breakfast is ready. You feel the innocence of such moments, when life's purpose was unknown, and our understanding of it remained in uncertainty. Never really knowing what to worry yet.

The Long Goodbye 1973
Right from the first scene, we get a look at the kind of man he is—a man with nothing, but his cigarettes, a cat, and loneliness. His use of humor serves as a coping mechanism for the dread of loneliness, a belief that the world is against him. The repeated use of one song throughout the film signifies his one track pursuit and choice to be left alone.
Better watch this film while high—it's like encountering a tinted plastic sheet covered in ash on top of a toilet seat.
